Alberto Jiménez Fraud
Alberto Jiménez Fraud (born February 4, 1883 in Málaga , † April 23, 1964 in Geneva ) was a Spanish educator .
The lawyer and student of Francisco Giner de los Ríos founded a literary and intellectual magazine in 1906 with the help of friends such as Miguel de Unamuno and José Moreno Villa . A few years later he became secretary of the Junta para Ampliación de Estudios . Study trips to England between 1907 and 1909 made him enthusiastic about the British college system.
From 1910 he headed the Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid , which became his life's work. He found support among others from the Comité Hispano-Inglés. After successful work, Fraud had to emigrate to France and later to Oxford in 1936 because of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War .
Fraud's wife Natalia was the daughter of the scholar Manuel Bartolomé Cossío .
